    According to their sleep neurologist their approach is the best way to beat jet lag. They did it in the London game last season and crushed the Jaguars. McVay is not being real specific about their flight time, but I read they will arrive only a few hours before the game. I guess if it were me I'd charter an extra plane and have both planes fitted with beds to help ensure the players and staff sleep as well as possible during the flight. They're going to fly back right after the game apparently too. The Rams' week 2 game is Mon night at SoFi v the Giants.

      He's going to replace the Big A with a $2.5B stadium.

        Tucker and Kennard both got swallowed by B-leaguers. At least Bud plays grown man football, for what it is.

          They will have to invest heavily into that room again next offseason, even if Mack returns again, they should still go after another Edge player in the top 3 rounds...Dupree has been strong against the run so that might explain his longevity...

            As much as Tucker was a feel good story, nonetheless and in reality a gritty player w/o any archetypal NFL level of pedigree. Kennard on the other hand was worthy of a 4th round pick by all measurable account. I think that his problem was very likely his work ethic, something which did not appear to be an issue with Tucker.

                They need a quality 4rth edge, when injuries happen to Tuli/Mack/Mesidor .... particularly since Mack should no longer be a 50+ snap guy.
                Maybe the report of Dupree being reanimated is true, but still would feel more comfortable with a 5th guy ...

                If Eboigbe takes another step up, perhaps they can get that 3rd rusher on critical downs with only two quality edge guys.
                Getting 3 quality pass rushers on any big passing down is huge.

                  I know nothing about the dedication and work put in behind the scenes by either player…I do know that neither guy impressed me in the preseason…I didn’t see either of them playing with urgency…

                    We have several interior DL with rush potential. We can load the front in a major "must pass" situation.

                      I'm gonna OD on football week 1. Several enticing match ups. SB rematch, followed by Rams/49ers, Bills/Texans and MNF KC/Denver. LFG

                        Interesting information about the plane the 49ers flew to Australia, they're flying on a Quanta Airbus A380, I've never flown on one.


                        REPORTING from Melbourne - jetlag edition and how the 49ers may have helped themselves

                        The Rams are going fly out 24 hours before the game, arriving about 8 hours before kickoff. Florio and Simms were discussing it in a vid, I guess it's about the week 2 game, not dealing with jet lag after flying home from Australia and trying to get re-acclimated while preparing for week 2.
